Staylisted, a local SEO agency specializing in 'blue-collar' clients, was facing challenges with their previous local search platform. The platform would remove all data and citations when the agency stopped paying, which was not only costly but also inconvenient. The platform's 'power listings' feature did not allow for edits, which was described as 'awful' by Staylisted's Customer Service Manager, Sarah Nelson. The agency also tried outsourcing citations to India, but found issues with quality and speed. They needed a solution that would ensure the speed and quality of citation delivery, and allow them to make edits quickly.
